I picked out my new bike today. Pinarello Prince. It should be ready on Friday. All except for the wheels. I already have a smokin' fast Crit bike so I am going to sort of make this be more of a climbing road race bike. Good for the Qualifiers as well as the hilly Nationals.
I have already have owned a few Pinarello's. A steel Montello and a couple of Aluminum/Carbon ones. Fantastic handling. Matt DeCanios favorite bike. Juan Antonio got a Roubaix podium spot on a Prince in 2005 I think. I also think Ulrich won the 97 Tour on one. Also Eric Zabel has a pile of notable wins aboard a Pinarello Prince. I wish I had some good pics of my Orange Prince. Full Record, with Cinelli Ram bars. Those same bars are going on this Prince. Although I am using Dura Ace 7900 on this build. Oh well, I hope it impresses. But I imagine this build will be just under 15lbs.
